Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

"Boom--!"

A beam of energy, infused with the radiance of the four primordial colors, shot fiercely into the sky, tearing apart the gloom that had settled over the blood-red plains due to the battle, and blooming into a dazzling, dreamlike spectacle, as brilliant as the flowing aurora borealis, high in the sky.

The powerful energy fluctuations were clearly perceptible even from dozens of miles away.

This sudden and magnificent spectacle instantly attracted the attention of many powerful warriors from various races who were advancing or fighting on the plains.

"Is this a sign of a Soul Emperor realm expert breaking through their cultivation barrier?!"

The Earth Clan Chieftain stopped and looked up at the pillar of light: "Someone actually broke through at a time like this? Four attributes...?"

Beast King Lion Thunder paused for a moment and said, "I don't know who it is. I can only hope that they are allies of our Myriad Races Alliance and that they are not from the Gene Company."

King Gorm, wielding two enormous battle axes, chuckled and said, "Heh heh, even if they are our people, it might not be a good thing. If our allies are too strong... we'll have one more formidable enemy when vying for the treasures on the Golden Queen Mother."

On the edge of the battlefield, in the shadow of a dense canopy of trees, a figure stood silently, almost blending into the environment.

The Rakshasa's blood-red pupils peered through the gaps in the branches and leaves, staring intently at the four-colored beam of light in the distance.

He realized that the four-colored beams of light were clearly not simply representing four different elemental attributes!

Those are four completely different, even opposing, fundamental forces of the realm!

Divine power, holy power, magical power, and soul power...

There is only one person who can simultaneously evoke these four fundamental resonances and use them as the foundation for breakthroughs...

"It seems that Mo Nanxi has failed."

Rakshasa's expression darkened: "I never expected that Mo Nanxi, a level twelve divine mage, would not only fail to kill Ye Ge, but would also help him break through."

......

Meanwhile, in the air, heading towards Crimson Dragon City.

Sima Qing was flying swiftly with his eyes closed, his two fingers pressed against his brow, as if sensing something.

Suddenly, his eyes snapped open, a distinctly sinister glint in them.

"Chairman?" Zhu Yu, a guard standing nearby, immediately noticed and asked in a low voice.

Sima Qing's face was ashen, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger, yet it chilled the surrounding air: "Mo Nanxi failed. Not only did he fail to defeat Ye Ge, but he also allowed Ye Ge to break through to the seventh stage of the Soul Emperor Realm."

"What!?" Zhu Yu was taken aback.

"He...he only recently reached the sixth level..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Su You and Hei Jian's expressions also turned extremely ugly.

As Ye Ge's enemies, they certainly wouldn't want Ye Ge to continue to grow stronger.

Moreover, ever since Ye Ge broke through to the Soul Emperor Realm, his strength has increased dramatically with each minor level he breaks through!

Previously, when he was at the sixth stage of the Soul Emperor Realm, he was already able to activate the Demon God Dharma Form and single-handedly suppress four clan leaders: Rakshasa of the Demon Clan, Shadow Storm of the Shadow Clan, Illusionary Dream Butterfly of the Insect Clan, and Leonas of the Holy Elf Clan!

Now that he has broken through to the seventh stage of the Soul Emperor Realm, just how strong must he become?

Wu Yikun, sweating profusely, said, "Chairman, Pope Mo Nanxi is a level 12 priest, yet he couldn't kill Ye Ge, who is at the sixth level of the Soul Emperor realm. Now he has broken through again. If he returns to Crimson Dragon City, wouldn't that mean..."

Sima Qing said expressionlessly, "I thought Mo Nanxi, as the Pope of the Extreme Yin Sect, was incredibly strong, a level twelve divine mage. I never expected that she couldn't even stop a sixth-level Soul Emperor."

"But it's okay, I've already made several preparations."

"Now the Dream Butterfly is under my control, and the Zerg army is under my command."

"Neither Night Song nor the Allied Forces of the Myriad Races will ever be able to leave the Crimson Plains before I obtain the Azure Dragon Treasure."

If only he could obtain the Azure Dragon Treasure and repair his half-burned soul...

'By then, even if Ye Ge breaks through to the peak of the ninth level of the Soul Emperor Realm, I won't take him seriously!' Sima Qing thought coldly to himself.

After saying this, Sima Qing, who had been flying at high speed, suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Zhu Yu, Lin Ye, Su You, Hei Jian, Wu Yikun, Zhi Ling, and the others immediately stopped and surrounded him, on high alert.

"Chairman? What's wrong?" Zhiling asked softly.

"I want to take over remotely and activate the backup formations pre-installed deep within the Zerg army."

Sima Qing glanced at the crowd, then slowly raised his hands, beginning to form ancient and mysterious hand seals. "Protect me, and do not let anything disturb me."

"Yes!" the crowd responded in unison, their soul power surging forth to form a tight protective circle.

Sima Qing closed his eyes and began chanting a difficult and strange incantation that seemed to come from an ancient insectoid language. The syllables were distorted, neither human nor beast.

As the last syllable fell, he suddenly clasped his hands together—

"Ancient Insect Ritual - Blood Sacrifice Nest Binding Array - Activated!"

......

Inside the fortified vehicle at the Allied Forces camp.

"I never expected that you would achieve a breakthrough under such circumstances." Ququ slowly lowered her hands, which were maintaining the stability of the energy field, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled, "Congratulations, Yege."

Ye Zi also said brightly, "Congratulations, Lord Ye Ge!"

"..."

Bing Xin stood quietly to the side, saying nothing, but sighing inwardly.

Such an incredible and terrifying talent...

If given enough time, when he breaks through to the ninth stage of the Soul Emperor realm, he might truly have a chance to become the first being in the mortal realm throughout history to break the shackles of the "Divine Lock" purely on his own merits without relying on divine gifts, and to truly step into the realm of demigods...

"Just luck." Ye Ge's voice came through the high-tech VR helmet, still steady. "It just so happened that the extreme yin curse mark left by the enemy reacted with the power in my body, and by chance I broke through the bottleneck."

He paused, then returned to reality: "However, that old fox Sima Qing probably still has a backup plan. He will definitely try every means to delay and prevent the Allied Forces of the Myriad Races from withdrawing from the Blood Plains."

“Indeed.” Ququ nodded, then smiled slightly. “But he never imagined that the 300,000 ‘army’ you brought in was not the real thing at all.”

“That’s right.” Ye Ge chuckled softly. “So, it’s about time you prepared to evacuate.”

Ququ understood: "Alright, I will give the order immediately. All fortified vehicles must set off at full speed and return to Crimson Dragon City."

“No,” Ye Ge said, “Of course, we can’t return them all.”

Ququ paused, then asked, "Then...?"

“If the distance between the stand-in puppet and its controller exceeds the predetermined distance, the connection will automatically be broken,” Night Song said. “I don’t want others to know the secret of our puppet army for the time being. Besides… it wouldn’t be bad if Sima Qing mistakenly thought we were still trapped in the Crimson Plains.”

Ququ instantly understood, a knowing smile flashing in her eyes: "I get it."

"By the way, it seems that Xue'er has also encountered some formidable opponents. I just went into Xue'er's control room and heard her say... The opponents seem to be demi-humans. One of them is Karl from the gene company, and the other is a master of the demi-human race!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ge pondered for a moment.

"Demi-human race..."

He immediately recalled Adam, the high-ranking warrior of the demi-human race he had encountered when he was trying to seize the Heavenly Prophecy Tablet.

"I see......"

......

Blood-red plains, forests.

The magnificent phenomenon of the breakthrough gradually dissipated, and the world returned to calm, leaving only the lingering energy that had not yet fully subsided rippling gently in the air.

Ye Ge's figure slowly descended from the sky, her robes fluttering in the wind.

Even with the loss of an arm, his composed demeanor and upright posture, set against the backdrop of fading sunlight, still made him appear extraordinary, as if a god had descended to earth.

Below, tens of thousands of Allied soldiers who had witnessed this incredible scene were now completely in a frenzy! After the initial shock came unparalleled fervor and worship.

"HOHOHOHO~~~"

"Lord Yege!~~~"

"Lord Night Song is too strong!"

"Lord Night Song, you've worked hard!!"

"You've worked so hard, sir! Please accept my deepest respect!!"

Cheers and shouts erupted like a tsunami, as countless warriors from all races excitedly waved their arms.

With his signature warm smile on his face, Ye Ge deliberately slowed down the descent and even waved his right hand gracefully downwards: "Comrades, you've worked hard too."

Nangong Qiuyue, Cang Feng, Arthur, and the others: "..."

All races: "OHOHOHOHO~~~~~"

[Received the new reverence of all races: Faith +157, Faith +156, Faith +183...]

[Gaining the reverence of a new race: Magic Power +1222, Magic Power +1390, Magic Power +1059...]

Looking at Ye Ge's smug and proud appearance, Ye Bing curled her lips and crossed her arms: "Tch...this guy really loves to show off."

Beside her, Red Sun, the right wing protector, had already joined the fallen angel warriors, her face flushed with excitement as she waved vigorously into the air, looking every bit the fangirl: "Lord Night Song is so handsome! So amazing~!"

"..."

Ye Bing slowly turned her head, her icy gaze falling on Hong Ri like a tangible blade.

"Ugh..." Hong Ri felt a chill run down his spine. His cheers stopped abruptly. Like a startled quail, he shrank his neck and timidly lowered his raised hand, not daring to even breathe.

Leonardo and Leona are still trapped in the prisoner's cage.

The two silently gazed at Night Song, who was being frantically surrounded by warriors of all races in the distance, and at the breakthrough phenomenon in the sky that had not yet completely dissipated, their expressions complex and indescribable.

They were all people who had personally fought against Ye Ge, a sixth-level Soul Emperor, and had deeply experienced that feeling of powerlessness...

This monster already possessed monstrous strength at the sixth rank, enough to overwhelm several peak Soul Emperor level experts.

Now that he's at the seventh level of the Soul Emperor realm, just how powerful will he become?

Just then, a light footstep sound accompanied by a faint fragrance approached.

Liu Ying walked gracefully to the cage, casually resting her slender hand on the bars, her smile as bright as a flower: "How about it? Don't you think I was very prescient? I chose the right side early on."

Leonardo snorted and turned his face away.

"Tch," Leona glanced at her sideways, "You wouldn't happen to be sent by Nightsong to try and persuade us to surrender, would you?"

"Lobbying?" Liu Ying raised her finger and scratched her hair. "Hmm... I think you probably haven't figured out the situation yet, or maybe your brain hasn't woken up yet."

Lianna: "......"

“I think you should be the ones begging me, begging me to put in a good word for you with Lord Yege, so that he will reluctantly agree to let you submit and forgive what you did when you were his enemies.” Liu Ying shrugged: “Don’t you want to break free from the company’s contractual ties with you at all?”

"..."

Both of them fell silent.

At this moment, Night Song finally landed slowly on the ground.

"Haha, Xiao Ye, you're amazing!" Xia Xiyao, like a cheerful little deer, was the first to rush to him. "By the way, about your injury..."

"It's all over now." Ye Ge raised his arm: "After breaking through the level, my attribute panel has been fully restored."

Yan Ji's gaze fell on his neck, where the dark purple curse mark was still clear, and even gleamed with a cold light due to the energy surge just now.

She could tell that the curse mark on Ye Ge's neck was a curse mark used by the Extreme Yin Sect to punish those who disrespected their worship of the Extreme Yin Lord. This curse mark was extremely insidious. Those who were cursed would have their bodies constantly eroded by the extreme Yin cold energy. Moreover, the cold energy would not only erode the body, but also the person's spiritual essence, and even their soul!

More importantly, this cursed seal is probably not so easy to refine! Unless Mo Nanxi personally helps him break the cursed seal, or Ye Ge's level can break through to the demigod realm, there is almost no chance of refining it! It will accompany him for eternity, and Mo Nanxi can find him at any time through this cursed seal.

The fact that Ye Ge was able to use the power of this cursed seal to break through his realm was probably just a coincidence. In addition, Ye Ge himself did seize the opportunity and resist the erosion of that extremely cold and yin energy.

But in the future... Mo Nanxi will definitely have to keep using this curse seal to control Ye Ge.

"Night Song," Yan Ji said with a serious expression, "the extremely cold and yin energy eroding the curse mark on your neck will probably become stronger and stronger. That woman, Mo Nanxi, will definitely continue to harass you with this curse mark in the future."

"Oh, this?" Ye Ge touched his neck. "It's nothing. I just placed a curse mark on her too. Who knows who will bother whom in the future?"

"..."

Yan Ji looked helpless.

She didn't understand whether Ye Ge was genuinely carefree or simply didn't grasp the seriousness of the situation.
